"Technologies are going to disrupt and redefine every space that humanity has ventured into, hopefully for larger good. Education is the first positive disruption that any family will always welcome, irrespective of how educated and informed the family is. If technology can make the learning processes exciting and invigorating what more can one ask for. It will add its power to eradicate illiteracy. Hope the humanity takes advantage of these developments in a purposeful manner. I am sure this conference will ignite a few thought processes."
